We mainly use PostgreSQL with Apache on a FreeBSD system, but we would like our server to support MySQL also. Is that possible? Any server admin who can give a little help?
We are developing an information system to capture client information. Which database should we use?
It should be secure. It should be scalable. It will be located on our in-house server. Each of 10 employees computers are connected to the server. An intranet will host a web site that will connect the employees to the database. This internal web site will be how information is stored on, processed and retrieved from the database. Our external web site will be hosted on the same server. The external web site will be used by clients and will pull certain information from the database. We also need mail-merge functionality. Information from the database needs to populate word document templates. We currently use an ACT! database to fullfill this need and an access database for all other information. Our server and all computers run on Windows. I’ve been leaning towards mySQL however I’m not sure how mail-merge and mySQL relate. I am the least knowledgable about mail-merge. However, the ability to have stored information populate certain documents is imperative.
My server is full and I need more memory and the only option I have is to get another server with more Gigabites.
What do I have to do to make sure my database is not disrupted and also people on my website can still search from old and new servers??
The easiest way would be the best!
Mapping SQL Server Features to Oracle Database
This category includes three child items: Logins, Server Roles, and Credentials. Logins in SQL Server can be one of two types with respect to authentication: managed by Windows (typically within Active Directory, but also local to the server) and managed by SQL Server (mixed mode).

I run a website that is hosted on a Windows server. I am hoping to shift to a Linux-based server (probably something that runs the cPanel setup, as I am familiar with it).
The biggest issue is that the current website has a static database that is used to serve up information to the visitors. It’s the most popular feature of the website, so I want to make sure the transition is right.
This database is an MS Access file. I have a simple ODBC connection to that file, and then I have PHP code that peeks into the file and lets visitors do queries.
My concern is that if I move to Linux / LAMP, I will not be able to make this simple ODBC connection to the MS Access file, and I will need to convert the DB into MySQL. I would like to avoid doing this, as the database comes to me from someone else who operates in MS Access. (I am aware of the possibility of converting to MySQL every time, I just would like to avoid doing so.)
